Trivia

Since then, Dougs web shows 5 Second Movies, The Nostalgia Critic, Chester A. Bum Reviews and Ask That Guy with the Glasses have aired exclusively on this web site.

By mid 2012, Doug was convinced that "The Nostalgia Critic" was beginning to show its age and he was becoming more and more hard up for material, so he decided to bring the shows five-year-long run to a close following the release of To Boldly Flee . While at the same time, site traffic for TGWTG had stagnated and a sure way of keeping people interested in their programming, Michael Michaud , the CEO, had acquired studio space in Chicago to begin producing some new shows to add to the line-up. Walker himself will be producing and starring in two of the shows. In January 2013, Walker decided to revive The Nostalgia Critic series, owing to both the critical failure of "Demo Reel" and because he became re-inspired to do reviews after watching The Odd Life of Timothy Green , and he has announced that on February 5, the show is coming back.

(September 2012) Chicago, Illinois: Announced on the That Guy With The Glasses website that his flagship show, "The Nostalgia Critic", had ended, citing that the show had gone as far as it could go in terms of creativity and that he would focus on newer projects.

Quotes

When I think of good CG effects, I think of something that either looks,realistic like Gollum or the Headless Horseman, or something stylized,like Sin City or Across the Universe.

A great story is great, but if you have a great character, that writes,the story for you half the time.

I told someone the other day that I wished him the best. It suddenly,occurred to me just how dangerous the best can be for some people. For,Hitler had the best, so did Hussein, and so did Gaddafi. Perhaps it is,better to wish someone that they instead take care of themselves, and,preferably others. For what good does wishing the best do if one does,not use it to fix the worst?,I heard a man explaining to someone younger that it was never right to,hit a woman. Good to know, here I was under the impression it was never,right to hit anybody.

Christmas transcends belief, transcends details, transcends what we see,as right and wrong. Instead we acknowledge the human spirit for what it,is, and no matter what, how, or why you acknowledge it, it is a good,thing to recognize. Merry Christmas!,I often wonder if you can learn more about a person by their enemies,than you can by their friends.

I try not to get into too many political issues, but I have no problem,stating I am very pro Gay Marriage. Going to such lengths to fight for,love in the face of such discrimination, especially when the divorce,rate for straight people is as high as it is, personally, I say these,people are saving the sanctity of marriage, not destroying it.

Make cookies, not war.

Where does Oscar the Grouch go to the bathroom? These things keep me up,at night.

Perfect writing, perfect pacing, perfect acting, perfect directing.

[on Ed Wood (1994) ] Everyone who wants to go into a creative,medium, especially film, should definitely see this movie.
